How Do You Like Your Meat?

With barely days left on the 'borrowed' Starwood Privilege card, we hopped from Favola to Prime Steak Restaurant. Prime's predominatly a carnivore's heaven on earth. Beef, beef and more beef with little to offer in terms of other things. Seeing that a side of vegetables costs MYR30 there, we decided to forgo that and order scallops from the starters instead-- Seared Sea Scallops. Truth be told, I found the scallops in Favola much sweeter. Kinda tasted bland in the middle. Surprised to see it come with a poaced egg and parmesan potato salad in the middle of the platter. I liked the potato, just the right level of creaminess. For mains, we ordered the Blackmore Wagyu D Rump (220gms of award-winning meat with a marbling score of 9+) and Master Kobe oyster blade steak (another 220gms of luxury Wagyu). Both done medium. A trio of sauces were chosen, served in cute, mini saucepans-- wild mushroom, truffle and Argentinian chimichurri dressing (much better than the other two). The oyster blade was much more moist and tender than the blackmore. Although one can't see the fat, it was definitely in every bite. Half a serving was all that I could take (my cholesterol problems notwithstanding :P). I let SK finish the rest. The bread basket came with a spicy variety again, this time peppercorn bread. Came with rocket butter which I liked. Did not order dessert that time (already felt like vomiting), but we noticed that at Prime, one could request to haramkan certain desserts! If I had known, I would have asked for Sambuca liqour for our Tiramisu at Favola. Overall a great lunch and one thing to note, I don't think there was any Gemas Gold on the menu. Moooooooooooooo!
